Every year starting in 1994 I have been giving an "award" for the best mystery novel I've read. Some choices I find puzzling today, some I'm reasonably proud of. For those interested I post the list of winners (in bold) and nominees when any below; your comments are welcome

. (Be warned that my definition of "mystery novel" includes any novel with mysterious elements, so don't be surprised to find one or two sci-fi/horror novels among the winners)
